31 As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

30 As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Yahweh is tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

1 [ALEPH] Blessed are those who are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Yahweh.

2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, And speaks truth in his heart;3 He who does not slander with his tongue, Nor does evil to his friend, Nor takes up a reproach against his fellow man;

7 He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; [He is] a shield to those who walk in integrity;

2 For in many things we all stumble. If any doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights [of heaven]; with whom there is neither shift in position, nor shadow that is cast by turning.

9 and having been made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the author of eternal salvation;

21 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

11 These things I have spoken to you{}, that my joy may be in you{}, and [that] your{} joy may be made full.

24 Until now have you{} asked nothing in my name: ask, and you{} will receive, that your{} joy may be made full.

2 And don't be fashioned according to this age: but be transformed by the renewing of your{} mind, that you{} may prove what the will of God is--that [which is] good and acceptable and perfect.

10 Now I urge you{}, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you{} speak the same thing and [that] there be no divisions among you{}; but [that] you{} are completely joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

14 and above all these things [put on] love, which is the bond of perfectness.

1 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,2 make my joy full, that you{+} are of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;3 [doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting one another better than himself;4 each of you{+} not looking to his own things, but each of you{+} also to the things of others.5 Have this mind in you{+}, which was also in Christ Jesus:6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider making full use of his equality with God,7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being made in the likeness of men;8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] to death, yes, the death of the cross.9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [those] in heaven and [those] on earth and [those] under the earth,11 and that every tongue should confess, The Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father.12 So then, my beloved, even as you{+} have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your{+} own salvation with fear and trembling;13 for it is God who works in you{+} both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.14 Do all things without murmurings and questionings:15 that you{+} may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you{+} are seen as lights in the world,16 holding forth the word of life; that I may have something of which to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.17 Yes, and if I am offered on the sacrifice and ministry of your{+} faith, I joy, and rejoice with all of you{+}:18 and in the same manner do you{+} also joy, and rejoice with me.19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you{+}, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your{+} state.20 For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your{+} state.21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.22 But you{+} know the proof of him, that, as a child [to] a father, he served as a slave with me in furtherance of the good news.23 Therefore I hope to send him forthwith, as soon as I will see how it will go with me:24 but I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.25 But I counted it necessary to send to you{+} Epaphroditus, my brother and coworker and fellow-soldier, and your{+} messenger and minister to my need;26 since he longed after all of you{+}, and was very troubled, because you{+} had heard that he was sick:27 for indeed he was sick near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you{+} see him again, you{+} may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your{+} ministry toward me.

15 See that none render to anyone evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, both one toward another, and toward all.

10 But he knows the way that I take; When he has tried me, I will come forth as gold.11 My foot has held fast to his steps; His way I have kept, and didn't turn aside.
